Next weekend Javier Vazquez will be coming to Dynamix to share some of his “Striking based Jiu-Jitsu”. This will be an invaluable seminar for those who are interested in learning how to apply Jiu-Jitsu in self-defense situations. Not only is Javi a master of teaching this style of Jiu-Jitsu, but he’s put it to the test in MMA at the highest levels. Come learn from someone with almost 20 years of experience in Jiu-Jitsu and an MMA veteran!

A recent viral video has sparked a big discussion in the Jiu-Jitsu community about the application of sport Jiu-Jitsu in self-defense situations. In the video, a BJJ purple belt gets into an altercation during a pick-up basketball game. The situation quickly escalates, and after a brief exchange of words, punches are thrown. The attacker engages and knocks the purple belt off balance causing him to sit to half guard. Once on the ground the purple belt attempts submissions from several positions but is unable to finish. Thankfully both the purple belt and his opponent are uninjured at the end of the video when the fight is broken up. In response to the video, we filmed a video of our own to show you a super simple self-defense tip that anybody can use to stay safe in a similar situation.
